Or just plain stupidity. Many years ago, I posted some recipes on
another cooking newsgroup. Someone who called herself "Purple Ram"
copied my posts exactly and reposted the recipes to RFC as her own.
Yes, she copied them *exactly*, right down to my typos. LOL She copied
my Grandma Mac's potato soup recipe, among others. (I called her out.)

Who knows why people do stupid stuff like that on Usenet.
